The online video education program — curated from years of the Foundation's experience in developing and supporting entrepreneurship programs — is designed to enable entrepreneurs to learn anywhere, anytime, and to immediately apply the lessons to their businesses.

"As we seek to encourage more people to start and grow companies, the Kauffman Founders School allows us to reach entrepreneurs with critical education, delivered by best-in-class experts, that, until now, hasn't been broadly available," said Thom Ruhe, vice president of Entrepreneurship at the Kauffman Foundation.

"Armed with the right information, entrepreneurs can significantly increase their effectiveness and improve their chances for success now and in the future."

"We carefully select experts who have substantive knowledge and experience as well as proven ability to teach cogently," said Wendy Torrance, entrepreneurship director at Kauffman who leads development of the Founders School.

"We invite entrepreneurs and those who teach and mentor them to use this content to enhance their understanding of critical decisions, build essential skills and create opportunities to discuss the decisions they are making about their businesses every day."

The Kauffman Founders School is housed on the Kauffman Foundation's newly enhanced Entrepreneurship.org web platform, which offers a wealth of resources, educational information, and tools for entrepreneurs. It can be accessed at www.KauffmanFoundersSchool.org or via www.Entrepreneurship.org.
